Cultural differences enrich the Indian and Chinese students at the Mahatma Gandhi School in Central Jakarta.
The Mahatma Gandhi School is one of four schools run by the Gandhi Seva Loka Foundation, which promotes quality education. The others are the Gandhi Memorial International School, also in Kemayoran; the Gandhi National School in Ancol, North Jakarta; and the Gandhi Institute of Business and Technology in Pasar Baru.
At the beginning, Indians dominated the school, which was established in 1950 by the Sindhi community, who fled Pakistan after the 1947 partitioning of India. However, as the school`s reputation grew through the years, the demographics shifted to its present balance, where two ethnic groups, the Indians and Chinese, are equally represented in the more than 1,200 students studying from kindergarten to high school.
Sudiana said during his 15 years at the school he had never witnessed the slightest hint of racial disharmony.
